That's the rythym section back together... rip... :sad:

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

 RIP Mr Baker, thank you for the great music! May you have many pleasant disagreements with Jack.

Hey, redhead, with you it's not quite clear WHERE you will be going, but whether your new company will be feathered or horned, do teach them your uncanny paradiddles!

Thanks for making drums talk.

For all his crankiness, Ginger did have a sense of humor. In the mid 80s he had bought an olive farm in Italy. I saw him on Letterman's NBC show back then and Dave asked him if olive farming was difficult. Ginger said that the hardest part was getting the olives to grow around the pimientos.

R.I.P. Ginger - you gave us great music.

Lot of coverage on Italian media. Cream are very popular here.

In eternal commemoration, I want to start an online petition requiring Eric Clapton to play Sunshine Of Your Love PROPERLY from now on, i.e. with the emphasis on 1 and 3 - rather than 2 and 4. Someone has to tell him that he is playing it like ...



... yes, quite, ex-BCR Ian Mitchell (here with his Rosetta Stone outfit playing rhythm - as he did with BCR - on the Firebird).  :mrgreen:

That was a good concert - before an auditorium filled with rock star royalty!
